Keeping Christmas - Sending Holiday Cheer

Welcome to the Keeping Christmas Inspiration Hop!  If you are looking for some inspiration for Christmas cards, you have come to the right place.  Our team has decided to do a monthly Keeping Christmas Inspiration Hop! We will be sharing Christmas creations on the 25th of each month.

The whole idea is to have some Christmas cards and projects in our stash all ready to go for December 2018!

I used the beautiful Bottlebrush Holiday stamp set by Power Poppy to create my card.  I stamped the single tree from the set three times with Versamark ink and then heat embossed the trees with WOW Metallic Gold Rich Pale Super Fine Embossing Powder.  I also stamped and heat embossed the sentiment.  I diecut the panel with the Stitched Rectangle Dies from Your Next Stamp.  The slim strip of paper is some gold glitter paper from my stash and the pretty plaid is from My Mind's Eye - Sugar Plum collection.  I then adhered the panel onto a white cardbase.  The enamel dots are also from the My Mind's Eye - Sugar Plum collection.  This was such a simple card to create and would be perfect if you need to mass produce some Christmas cards this year. 

Please hop along and be sure to visit each of the blogs.  There's lots of inspiration and ideas to get your creative juices flowing!

Good morning!  I hope you're having a fabulous week so far.  I'm sharing another Christmas card featuring a beautiful Christmas image from Power Poppy.

This image is from the Bottlebrush Holiday stamp set.  I colored the image with distress inks and used lots of Glamour Dust on the ornaments to add some pretty sparkle.  I used the MFT Stitched Circle Frames to cut out the image and then I stamped the sentiment on a banner I cut with the Die-namics Fishtail Flags Layers STAX.  The pattern papers are from My Mind's Eye 6x6 Sugar Plum collection.  I added some MME Sugar Plum Enamel Shapes to finish my card.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hugs, Anita

Good evening!  I hope you're having lots of fun this weekend.  I'm sharing another Christmas card featuring a beautiful Christmas image from Power Poppy.

This image is just one of the stamps included in the Bottlebrush Holiday stamp set.  I colored the image with distress inks.  It doesn't show well in the photo but I used lots of Glamour Dust on the trees so there's lots of sparkle.  I used the MFT Stitched Circle Frames to create the shaker window.  The sentiment is stamped on a banner I cut with the Die-namics Fishtail Flags Layers STAX.  The pattern papers are from My Mind's Eye 6x6 Sugar Plum collection and I added a MME Sugar Plum Enamel Shape on the sentiment banner. 
 

I'm entering my card in the Power Poppy November Power & Spark Challenge.

Good morning!  I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.  Today I'm sharing a Christmas card featuring a beautiful Christmas image from Power Poppy.

This stamp is just one of the images included in the Bottlebrush Holiday stamp set.  I colored the image with distress inks and then used Glamour Dust to give the ornaments and tree lots of sparkle.  The pattern papers are from My Mind's Eye 6x6 Sugar Plum collection - love the colors and patterns in this paper pad!  I also added some MME Sugar Plum Enamel Shapes to embellish my card.
